Bags outside a car packed, and my mom stood beside the door iced cold expression, with a scared and hated look on her face, walked towards her, stopped in front of her, I tried to say something, and she walked out on me. Maria, Maria, someone called out to me. I looked, and it was the priest holding his hand out. Beside him was a nun and a driver. I was told to follow them; that is where I will start, from now on. I stared at the rear view mirror from the passenger seat where I sat, replaying everything that happened in the police station.
(The Police Station)
Maria, can you tell us what happened? We heard from Jessica that you told her Alex was going to die. The question is, how did you know? a police officer asked me to sit across from me, a paper on the table, and he was looking straight at me, tapping his pen on his paper. In fear, I stammered and retold the dream and everything that had happened. As I retold the story, not once did he look away from me; he didn't blink. I couldn't tell if he believed me or not. I was so scared that they asked my mom to wait outside the room since she was always interrupting the officer.
Soon after, another officer came in and asked Did you see James hit Alex with a stick on Monday, We were told they fought, and you were there. Is that true?. Erm, what happened is that I said after clearing my throat. I caught James for improper dressing and disturbing the assembly. Alex came and asked why he was there. 'There ?' the officer asked, interrupting me. Among the group of students that will be punished, James is always being punished, "And?!" the other officer said, So what happened?They argued briefly, I said, before the teacher came and took them away to go and serve their punishment. Some of your mates said that after school, there was a fight, and James hit Alex with a stick on his head. Did you see it ?. I know they fought, but I didn't see James hit Alex with a stick I replied. The officer left the room and came back 20 minutes later and said I was free to go as they couldn't place me and Alex in the same place at the time of the incident, while walking out of the police station I overhead the officers asking about the burn in his legs, and buries, a lady said he had an accident at home the night before and right in front of me I said a handcuffed James being talking into the room I just left.
(Back In The Car)
Maria Maria Maria, you don't need to worry, you will lack nothing, and we will take good care of you said the nun sitting beside me with a smile on her face.
